Good morning. Google tells us that searches for “dating” have hit a 5-year-high, which raises the question: What are people hoping to learn when Googling the word "dating"? You’re not going to find your soulmate from reading the "dating" Wikipedia entry. But you will stumble upon this piece of helpful advice: “Ballroom dancing is one way to get to know somebody on a date.” It’s not wrong.

MARKETS Nasdaq 14,631.95 +0.92% S&P 4,358.69 +0.82% Dow 34,798.00 +0.83% Bitcoin $31,780.14 +6.87% 10-Year 1.292% +6.8 bps Coca-Cola $56.55 +1.29% *Stock data as of market close, cryptocurrency data as of 5:00pm ET. Here's what these numbers mean. Markets: Stocks continued to gain after another wave of bullish earning reports rolled through. Strong quarters from Coca-Cola and J&J boosted the Dow. Infrastructure update: A bipartisan infrastructure bill is coming along slowly but surely. Senators are optimistic they’ll be able to “get the ball rolling” with a vote on Monday, saying they’re close to a final agreement.

COVID France Takes a Stance Starting yesterday, not being vaccinated for Covid-19 in France is like not drinking your morning coffee: Life will simply be worse without it.  Large entertainment and cultural venues, including museums, sports arenas, and movie theaters, will now require proof of vaccination or a negative test for Covid-19. And that’s just the start—being vaccinated will be a requirement to enter other businesses, such as cafes and restaurants, starting in August.  Why now? President Emmanuel Macron announced the measures last week in order to revive a slowing vaccination drive and limit the worst impacts of the Delta variant. France’s infection rate has jumped 125% in the last week and a little over 40% of the population is fully vaccinated. The vaccine strategy has resulted in two things: It has angered a lot of people: More than 100,000 protestors hit the streets last weekend, saying the vaccine rules infringed on their rights.  It has spurred vaccinations: The country set a single-day record for shots administered last Friday (880,000). In the 24 hours after Macron’s speech more than 1.7 million people scheduled a vaccine appointment. What about us?  The US federal government hasn’t introduced any vaccine requirements for businesses, and it likely won’t take any steps until the FDA grants full approval to at least one of the shots. Remember, right now all three US-made vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J) are under “emergency use authorization.” Pfizer expects full approval by January 2022 latest.  That hasn’t stopped other organizations from saying, “no vaccine, no service.” 590 colleges have at least some form of vaccine mandate. More hospitals are now requiring that their staff get vaccinated. And plenty of businesses, from your local bar to Madison Square Garden, will want you to show proof of vaccination before stepping inside. Bottom line: From $1 million lotteries to calling in Olivia Rodrigo for a PSA, US officials have offered loads of carrots to push the vaccine-hesitant to get their shots. France is breaking out the sticks.

PHARMA A First Look at the $26 Billion Opioid Settlement After years of back-and-forth, a group of state attorneys general released a tentative $26 billion settlement that would be the largest penalty for four big players in the opioid epidemic that’s killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. The details:  The plan would require drug distributors McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen to pay $21 billion over 18 years. These companies were accused of lax oversight that bolstered the black market supply of painkillers.  Johnson & Johnson, a drug manufacturer accused of downplaying the addictiveness of opioids in its marketing, would shell out $5 billion over nine years. Big picture: 3,000+ separate lawsuits from across the US were consolidated into this mega-case, which as soon as next year could direct billions of dollars to address the epidemic. But some don’t think it’s enough. Washington state’s attorney general, Bob Ferguson, told CNBC, “The settlement is, to be blunt, not nearly good enough for Washington.” Looking ahead...the crisis is only getting worse. Drug overdose deaths rose nearly 30% in the US last year, to a record of 93,331.

SPORTS Olympics Have ‘Too Late to Cancel This Wedding’ Vibes Carl Court/Getty Images The opening ceremony for the Olympics will be held tomorrow morning, but if managers are worried about a productivity hit in the AM, they shouldn’t be.  In a poll of 6,000 Morning Brew readers, 42% said they’re less likely to watch the Tokyo Olympics than previous years’ Olympics. 52% said their plans haven’t really changed, and just 6% said they’d watch more.  Here are the other juiciest bits of our Olympics survey.  Covid: Should the Olympics have been canceled this year due to Covid-19 concerns? 50% of readers said yes. And 51% said they’re worried that the Olympics will be a superspreader event. Viewership: How much of the Olympics do readers plan to watch? 57% said “a few hours here and there,” while 17% said they wouldn’t watch at all and 16% said they plan on watching a “considerable amount.” Peacock: NBC is hoping to use the Olympics to snag new subscribers for its streaming service, Peacock. That’s going to work with 3% of respondents, who said they’re going to buy Peacock to watch the Olympics. 83% said they wouldn’t buy Peacock, and 14% already have it. Bottom line: Brew readers are feeling the same anxiety as Olympic organizers. New Covid cases in Tokyo hit their highest levels since January yesterday.

GRAB BAG Key Performance Indicators Stat: US life expectancy fell by 1.5 years in 2020, the steepest drop since World War II, thanks in large part to the coronavirus. Hispanic (3 years) and Black Americans (2.9) recorded the worst drops, while white Americans’ life expectancy fell by 1.2 years. Life expectancy in the US hasn’t been this low since 2003. Quote: “My hope is that it creates world peace or helps create world peace.” Clad in tie-dye, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey went full Miss Congeniality during a webinar on bitcoin yesterday. Speaking on an all-star panel with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood, Dorsey explained that if bitcoin could solve underlying monetary issues, everyone could focus on fixing other things. And it’s a straight shot from there to world peace, apparently. Read: Does CrossFit have a future? (New Yorker)

CRYPTO This NFT Startup Is Off to the Races Twitter Virtually Human Studio, a startup known for developing *squints at notes* virtual horse NFT platform Zed Run, raised $20 million in Series A funding yesterday from the likes of TCG Capital Management and Andreessen Horowitz. On Zed Run’s platform, 14,000+ “stable owners” (also affectionately called #ZEDheads) buy, sell, breed, and race virtual horses. Because NFTs are blockchain-verifiable digital assets, each of these virtual horses is “unique.”  To some folks, that makes them extremely valuable:  Horses can cost as much as $45,000 each. Whole stables of digital Hidalgos have sold for more than $250,000. $30+ million worth of Zed horses have been sold so far.   How does Zed Run make money? It takes a cut every time users breed, race, or sell their horses. Meanwhile, users can win ethereum by getting on the digital race podium or by selling their horses to others at a profit. Zoom out: Even if media chatter around NFTs has died down, there’s still a crowd willing to pony up for the cryptographic tokens, and investors are expecting that crowd to grow.

WHAT ELSE IS BREWING JPMorgan awarded CEO Jamie Dimon more stock options in an attempt to keep him around for a few more years. They could yield Dimon $49 million in profits over a 10-year vesting period. Lyft, Ford, and autonomous driving startup Argo AI have teamed up to offer rides in self-driving cars in Miami. The FTC has committed to further scrutinizing restrictions that prevent users from repairing items they’ve bought. The US and Germany reached a deal that allows for the completion of a Russian gas pipeline to Europe without further US sanctions. ESPN host Maria Taylor is leaving the company. A few weeks ago, her colleague Rachel Nichols was recorded saying that Taylor, who is Black, was given the job of hosting the NBA Finals over her because of ESPN's "crappy longtime record on diversity."

1 big thing: New COVID fear could bring masks back

Data: CSSE at Johns Hopkins University. (Rhode Island and Iowa data from CDC, July 12-19.) Map: Axios Visuals I'm told there's a sudden boomerang in worry about COVID among vaccinated lawmakers on Capitol Hill, with talk of canceled trips and dinners, and debate about restoring mask mandates. All guests were "expected to wear a mask" at a reception Speaker Pelosi held yesterday in the Capitol's Rayburn Room for the new sergeant at arms, Maj. Gen. William Walker, according to the "Member Arrival Instructions." After a few blessed months of relaxed COVID practices as the U.S. vaccination rate rose, more lawmakers are once again carrying masks — and trying to navigate when to wear them. President Biden, answering a question from a school employee, said last night at a CNN town hall in Cincinnati: "[T]he CDC is going to say that what we should do is everyone ... under the age of 12 should probably be wearing a mask in school. That's probably what's going to happen." What's happening: Coronavirus cases are rising dramatically all over the U.S. as the highly contagious Delta variant spreads among the unvaccinated, Axios' Sam Baker writes. Florida is now averaging just under 6,500 new cases per day — by far the most of any state. New cases more than doubled over the past week in Mississippi — from about 320 per day to about 660. The state has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country — just 34% of adults. Earlier this summer, the U.S. seemed to have COVID-19 on the ropes. But now the Delta variant is sweeping the country. 97% of people hospitalized for COVID are unvaccinated. Share this map.

2. First look: Anita Dunn's triad

Slide: The White House

White House senior adviser Anita Dunn will brief Capitol Hill today on "Reaching Americans Where They Are" as a way to sell President Biden’s economic plans, Axios' Hans Nichols reports. Armed with polling data and a 23-slide deck, Dunn will show lawmakers in both chambers how to simplify Biden’s "Build Back Better" agenda with this "Message Framing": "More Jobs." "Tax Cuts." "Lower Costs for Working Families." "Flooding Local TV Airwaves": "Local media continues to be one of the most trusted news sources, communicating the impact of national policy on the communities they serve," the deck says. "Since Jan. 20, the White House has secured 1,000+ local TV hits." See the slides.

3. GOP suddenly pushes shots

Illustration: Shoshana Gordon/Axios

With rising fears of a "fourth wave" — this time of the unvaccinated — more GOP lawmakers and conservative media figures are pushing the shot, Axios' Caitlin Owens writes. Why it matters: Vaccine resistance is much higher among Republicans than Democrats, and some prominent conservatives have been skeptical or hostile about the jab. Members of House GOP leadership and the GOP Doctors Caucus will hold a press conference this morning to "discuss the need for individuals to get vaccinated, uncover the origins of the pandemic, and keep schools and businesses open," a press release says. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday: "These shots need to get in everybody’s arm as rapidly as possible." Fox News' Sean Hannity said on his prime-time show Monday: "It absolutely makes sense for many Americans to get vaccinated. I believe in science. I believe in the science of vaccinations." Fox News stars Steve Doocy and Harris Faulkner appear in a PSA directing viewers to a "Vaccine Finder" link on FoxNews.com. Share this story.

4. How ghost Olympics could crimp athletes

Illustration: Annelise Capossela/Axios

Psychologists don't know for sure how a spectator-less Olympics will affect athletes' performance. But Olympians are already expressing concern about what it will be like to compete without hearing the cheers of their families and fans, Axios' Erin Doherty reports. "I like to feed off of the crowd," U.S. gymnastics star Simone Biles recently told AP. "I’m a little bit worried about how I’ll do." Valerie Constien, a first-time Olympian in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase, told Axios that hearing coaches and teammates "talk about the energy from the crowd just sounds really amazing and inspirational, and I am disappointed that I won't ... experience that." What's happening: NBC says it won't add fake crowd noise. But it's using Olympic Broadcasting Service feeds that will include what IOC President Thomas Bach called an "immersive sound system" to create atmosphere for the athletes, AP reports. Crowd noise recorded from each event at previous Olympics will be fed into the arenas. NBC will amplify sounds of competition — the splash of the pool, interplay between coaches and athletes — to take viewers there. Share this story.

5. Hong Kong persists as financial center

Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios

Given Hong Kong's assault on democracy, imprisonment of publishers, and human rights violations, "stable" might not be the first word that springs to mind. But the legendary financial services sector is surviving the turmoil, Axios Capital author Felix Salmon reports. Hong Kong has been a gateway to mainland China for centuries. As China begins its crackdown on companies raising foreign capital and listing on foreign exchanges, that's only going to strengthen Hong Kong's hand as the go-to place where shares of Chinese companies can be traded in a fully convertible currency. Western investment banks are hiring thousands of new employees in Hong Kong, many of them hailing from mainland China. Keep reading.

6. Jobs to lift Mid-America

Reproduced from Heartland Forward. Map: Axios Visuals Heartland Forward, an Arkansas-based think tank, today recommends states promote these "opportunity occupations" to help lift residents into the middle class, Worth Sparkman writes for Axios Northwest Arkansas: Registered nurses. Truck drivers. Maintenance and repair workers. Retail supervisors. Bookkeeping, accounting clerks. Construction laborers. Secretaries, administrative assistants. Customer service representatives. Keep reading.

7. Worst part of living in the White House

Last night's town hall at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati. Photo: Andrew Harnik/AP After six months in the White House, President Biden was asked last night by CNN's Don Lemon about what it's like behind the scenes: "As you can tell, I hope, I have very good manners. But I'm not very hung up on protocol," Biden said. "And the Secret Service is wonderful. ... [B]ecause things are so crazy out there, it is very hard to get comfortable ... You're saying: 'Don't come in for breakfast. We can get our own breakfast,' because I like to walk out in my robe." As the audience laughed, Biden said: "No, no ... you think I'm joking? I'm not. You know what I mean?" "By the way," Biden added, "the first time I walked downstairs, and they played 'Hail to the Chief,' I wondered: 'Where is he?'" "That's a great tune! But I, you know — you feel a little self-conscious."

8. College switch would create mini-NFL

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian walks past Texas and Oklahoma mannequins during Big 12 Media Days last week in Arlington, Texas. Photo: LM Otero/AP Texas and Oklahoma are talking to SEC officials about switching conferences, although no formal invitations have been extended, AP college football writer Ralph Russo reports. Why it matters: Adding two members would give the powerhouse SEC 16 teams, the most in major college football. Losing two schools would be a devastating blow to the 10-member Big 12. Texas said: "Speculation always swirls around collegiate athletics. We will not address rumors or speculation." Oklahoma said: "The college athletics landscape is shifting constantly. ... We don't address every anonymous rumor."
